    Im 17, female, normal B.M.I, quite active
    and since November (1st got it taken) my blood
    pressure was high(140/98) but sllightly
    changed and got frequent headaches , i got a 24hr monitor done twice and it showed my bp was high part of the day (morning) when i was in class.
    Was done on Monday and average during day was 145/93 im in 5th year and was a but embarrassed wit it on as it was quite loud :/ at night the average was 106/60 but at one point during the night while asleep it went 71/52 and another reading 92/41. is it normal for it to go that low?

    I have no family history of it, taken no medication and got ECG,
    blood tests and urine tests done and an
    abdominal ultrasound, MRI (as was gettiing frequent headaches) all my results fine
    except cholesterol 6.3, as its inhereity and wasn't fasting during the blood test so probably will b lower when I get fasting bloods done.

    before this is locked did the blood tests include kidney function? Kidney problems can increase BP. It tends to be something that normally effects older people so can get missed in younger people as I found out a few months ago
